System Shock Released

System Shock is now available for Windows on the Epic Games Store, GOG.com,* and Steam, offering a remake of the classic sci-fi shooter from Nightdive Studios. Check out the Launch Trailer to see how it differs from the original from back in 1994. For a sample, each site still hosts a playable demo. There's also a System Shock Goodie Pack being given away for free on GOG.com, but you must claim that over the next 72 hours. Owners of NVIDIA graphics cards should check out the new GeForce Game Ready Driver, which supports the release. And for evaluations, here's a review roundup from yesterday. Here's a reintroduction to the game and its AI antagonist:
System Shock is the fully fledged remake of the ground breaking original from 1994, combining cult gameplay with all-new HD visuals, updated controls, an overhauled interface and all-new sounds & music; it even has the original voice actor of SHODAN, one of gaming’s most iconic villains. Witness the rebirth of one of the greatest and most influential games ever created.

Meet SHODAN. The psychotic AI has taken control of Citadel Station and turned the crew into an army of cyborgs and mutants; She now plans to do the same to Earth. You must explore and battle your way through the depths of a space station gone to hell. Stop SHODAN and avert humanity’s destruction.
